System software is computer software designed to operate the computer hardware and to provide and maintain a platform for running application software.
The most important types of system software are:
* The computer BIOS and device firmware, which provide basic functionality to operate and control the hardware connected to or built into the computer.
* The operating system (prominent examples being Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux), which allows the parts of a computer to work together by performing tasks like transferring data between memory and disks or rendering output onto a display device. It also provides a platform to run high-level system software and application software.
* Utility software, which helps to analyze, configure, optimize and maintain the computer.
Application software, also known as applications or apps, is computer software designed to help the user to perform singular or multiple related specific tasks. Examples include Enterprise software, Accounting software, Office suites, Graphics software and media players.
